Hatton will be Mayweather's toughest challenge

[MJ406]

Dude you are looking at boxing from one dimension. In boxing the slicker, faster fighter does not always win. If that was the case Judah would be atop the p4p rankings. Spinks too. Malignaggi would be whoopin' guys. Stop looking at boxing like it's ping pong and open your eyes.

Judah is mentally weak .. (self explanatory)

Spinks has a weak chin (KO'd by Judah)

and Malignaggi is very feather fisted (21 wins, but only 5 wins by KO)

good relation to ping pong though. very tough game to play.

ps im new here, and would like to get back on topic, while were at it.

very good topic. impressive. I'll throw more about the topic later

ok lets backtrack...i never said the slicker faster fighter always wins or even wins..u added those other fighters to prove ur point not mine...i never said anything about any other boxer except for floyd and hatton....i said mayweather being very precise .... will beat hatton being very precise.... i didnt say any slick fighter or fast fighter could beat hatton.... i said floyd would beat hatton because of his attributes....now stop putting words in my mouth... but if u got a peanut butter and jelly sandwich ill take that....

.................

I aint going to reply to that.

Choose ur words correctly....it isnt ...aint...its.... i cant because besides those fighters hatton hasnt fought anyone worth mentioning inside or outside america....even another galaxy.............

why do u think hattons style could trouble mayweather...he's not a volume puncher...he comes straight forward...throws 1 maybe 2 clinches ...steps back and may fire 1 or 2 on his way out...ur tellin me that with all the talent mayweather has fought u think hattons style is gonna be hard for mayweather to figure out and than pick apart....he dosent even come forward like duran used to do by slipping punches...he just comes forward...ur tellin me with mayweathers accurate punching that he's gonna not tattoo hatton with almost every punch he throws....style wise is the easiest way to pick an easy win for mayweather.... u should go with heart if ur gonna talk about a hatton win......

OK... So a "volume puncher" is what it will take then???

How many of Ricky Hatton's fights have you watched, Mayweather fan?

You really want me to respond to this?

We're not going to get very far if you devalue, exaggerate, or deny reality.


I want you to watch these 3 fights again and we'll talk about this afterward.

You're asking some ****** questions, my man..

Hopefully you've already seen these - but a refresher is clearly in order.

1) Mayweather vs. Castillo I
2) Mayweather vs. De La Hoya
3) Hatton vs. Tszyu


It will also help if you know anything about physical movement, Boxing, and sports in general - then we won't have to ask questions like this..

Look man. It's easy to pick apart a guys resume. I can make a case for Joe Frazier not even being a top 10 heavyweight. I can probably make a case for Klitschko being top 10 all time. It's easy.

Hatton - top fighter at 140, coming off the 2nd best win of his career
Mayweather - top fighter at 147, coming off the best win of his career

What more do you want? Two elite fighters. Stop being a ***** and accept it.

You forgot to mention Mayweather - Chavez.

i never said volume punching is what it takes...(but it would help).. i said hatton is not a volume puncher....which is a myth going around....i also said hatton throws 1 2 gets inside clinches....steps out might throw 1 2 to the head to the body....how is that style gonna beat floyd.... i dont understand the thing about the fights i saw them if u make ur point about them i can reply...........

Conversely, Brizzy, if (IF!) Mayweather leaves Hatton is a pool of his own piss and blood (was it Floyd that said that?), will you be co-signing the overratedness of Ricky...in hindsight?

No, because I don't think he's overrated. Perhaps he is by his own Manchester following, but that's about it. Nobody else on this board, as far as the general opinion goes, gives Ricky Hatton much credit at all. If anything, he's underrated. He's expected to lose to Mayweather, anybody who knows anything about boxing and it's styles knows that.

Hatton is expected to lose to Mayweather, and if he does I won't say Hatton was overrated. He's an undefeated, young Champion in his prime with 2 high profile wins and 1 very underrated win (Carlos Maussa) on his resume. If Ricky loses, it's not a matter of him sucking. It's a matter of Mayweather dominating.

Conversely, in the highly unlikely even that Hatton manages to edge out some form of win. He deserves all the credit in th world for it, same goes for Mayweather because both Mayweather and Hatton are fighting undefeated, p4p champions in their primes. Fighter of the year for whoever wins IMO.

level of comp.

as far as the topic is concerned.

people need to look at earlier Hatton clips. I admit the very first Hatton fight full length that I had EVER seen was in January 2007 vs Urango.

I have to admit in all honesty that after the first 6 rounds. nothing Hatton did really impressed me. (it was later said after the fight that he had a chest infection or something)

*why did it take the chest infection 7 rounds to get to Hatton, and make him have to hold the rest of the fight. but thats another story.

anyway. regarding Hatton. check out his earlier youtube clips, when he was the WBU champion (I know the title doesn't sound impressive) .. but Ricky would just TEAR through people. Tony Pep and his next 4 opponents were taken out.

and no he didn't hold. he just came forward, ripping shots to the face and body.

but going by level of opposition (earlier in Hatton's career). lets say for the sake of argument that Ricky Hatton is the best 140 pd British fighter ever. that would mean that Ricky should beat a majority of the competition, including fellow Brits. in fact if he's the best British fighter, bearing upsets, shouldn't he beat just about ANYONE he faces?

(going under the logic that Ricky is a high B level fighter, obviously talented .. but going up against not bad, but boxers who he is better than)
